Smoked a 10lb Boston butt this past weekend to help feed some friends on a small “get away” cabin trip. Turned out pretty okay. Lessons learned, every time!

Fiancée tried a new baked bean recipe. I threw those on for a few hours too…

Finally ready to wrap and rest. 17hrs later!

Pulled and ready to disappear. And boy, did it.

If anyone has pointers on how to post in a sleeker or more proper manner, I’d love to learn. I’m just trying to post some content and not just waste my account.

OH, and if I could ever figure out how to make a community(?) I’d definitely post this in a Smoker one or something like that. Okay, enjoy the crappy pics of some pretty tasty grub!

    I like big butts and I cannot lie.

    Did you wrap it at any point in the cook, or 17 hours naked?

      I’ve wrapped before, using the “Texas Crutch” at the ~165° stall, but no wrap this time, I just spritzed with apple cider vinegar every 30mins after the bark formed well enough, and waited her out ‘naked’ until 2am haha.

    That looks fantastic! And I hear you on the learning. I’m gonna start writing down all my variables and observations. I smoked a tri-tip last Saturday, and while good, not quite there.

      Hey, kudos for even attempting a tri-tip! Even a good one is pretty great!

      And yep, I write down notes on every cook I can remember to do it for, and my Inkbird App/thermometer does a lot of that for me now. Thing is a godsend.

    I just started c/smoking the other day. I’d love to see your content over there.
